The sting is not the only measure. As usual, Davis’ logic is seriously flawed. Consultants like him use social media as a way to drum up business for themselves, so everything they say has a potential conflict of interest.

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2013 by Krisana Chinnasarn
Dear Prof. Jeffrey,
Please kindly noted that the ICKST-2014 International Conference on Knowledge and Smart Technology organized by World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, available at http://waset.org/conference/2014/11/istanbul/ICKST has nothing concerned with KST Conference. The KST Conference is organized by Faculty of Informatics, Burapha University, Thailand, in cooperation with 8 Institutes in Thailand which is continuously supported by IEEE Thailand Section and ECTI Thailand.
We found that the theme of ICKST much similar to our conference theme. Please visit our website at http://www.kst-thailand.org for more information. Thank you for you kind attention. If there is any more information you may need, please feel free to contact us.
Your Faithfully

Comment on Under Pressure, MDPI Tries to Clean House, Retracts Paper by Steve Jordan
I published two papers recently in different MDPI journals. The peer reviews were thorough and fair, and the process efficient. There was no charge for one of the papers, and the charge for the other was reasonable. I have no basis otherwise to defend or condemn MDPI, but the blog and some of the comments here seem to reflect academic and cultural snobbery. I agree with the post that suggested we deal with any issues specifically rather than tar the entire business. Bullying is not appropriate.

Were you asked or pressured by anyone to leave a comment here? Can you give a specific example of bullying? Or are you just trying to “tar the entire” blog?

Steve,
I agree that we should “…deal with any issues specifically rather than tar the entire business”. What is your opinion of MDPI’s editorial quality control in the publication of the extraordinarily faulty “Australian Paradox” paper, a study cited by Jeffrey Beall as he added MDPI to his list of questionable publishers? Here it is: http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/quickquizresearch.pdf

hi Jeff,
Please tell me about this journal/publisher Thomson Scientific ISI Web of Knowledge. They told me that if my paper will be accepted I will pay USD 1200 for the publication.
Thank you very much.

Comment on Greedy Indian Publisher Charges Authors and Readers, Requires Copyright Transfer by Jeff Shrager
In a normal market everyone pays for value received. I don’t get why resonable page charges and a reasonable cover price is so despicable, unless you want to unbalance the market, as OA does and put all costs on the author. I’m not saying that this is bad (if I thought it was bad what would I be doing here … not to mention having a dozen OA papers?!) just that it’s putting one’s thumb on the scale, for better or worse.

Comment on Greedy Indian Publisher Charges Authors and Readers, Requires Copyright Transfer by tekija
Well, the open access and subscription journal are converging. The mail I got today could equally well be from any open access, predatory journal:
- extremely broad scope
- very large editorial board doing the work
- you can volunteer as an editor
- you can suggest other editors
- except large turnover of manuscripts
- no fee paid – and I very much doubt they will not charge the authors:
This is Wolters-Kluwer (note: I have never reviewed for this journal, so they must be taking contact details of all other WK – or perhaps even Lippincott – publications to spam this message):
“ACADEMIC EDITOR RECRUITMENT:
Join the Editorial Board for Medicine®
As It Transitions To An Important Broad–Spectrum Open Access Journal
Dear Dr. (redacted)
I am pleased to announce that Medicine, a Wolters Kluwer Health publication and one of the most respected and frequently cited journals in general medicine, will transform to an open access journal in 2014. As an open access title, the journal will offer continuous publication, covering a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines and sub-disciplines. Medicine will cover the latest research and clinical developments in medicine and health sciences.
Medicine is a Medicus/MedLine/PubMed indexed journal, with an Impact Factor of 4.233 as reported in the 2013 ISI Journal Citation Reports (ranking 18th out of 155 General & Internal Medicine titles).
Given both your experience as a reviewer and your area of expertise, Wolters Kluwer Health would like to extend to you an invitation to join the Medicine editorial board as an Academic Editor. In this role, you would play an essential part in ensuring that accepted content is scientifically and ethically sound, and in compliance with standard reporting guidelines.
Objectives for Academic Editors
Supervise the review and adjudication of manuscripts submitted to your area of expertise.
Help communicate the results of peer review to facilitate the revision of the submitted manuscripts.
Help recruit further Academic Editors where submission volume is high.
Remuneration and Term of Office
Academic Editors will serve for a renewable term of 1 year.
There will be no direct financial remuneration, but Academic Editors will be acknowledged for their work on the Journal website.
For more information on Medicine and Open Access, please see our Open Access FAQ.
I sincerely hope that you will join the Editorial Board in this exciting endeavor. To register your interest, please respond via email to Senior Publisher, Duncan MacRae (duncan.macrae@wolterskluwer.com).
Yours,
Duncan A. MacRae
